[edit] for Semifamous re: Tillamook County: "US Naval Air Station Dirigible Hangar B"...

...is how its primarly (and somewhat out of date) listing is at the NRHP. [1] aka "Tillamook Naval Air Station Dirigible Hangars" aka "US Naval Air Station Tillamook County". So we are talking about the actual hangar being the historic thing in question. Does the hanger=the air station, or were there more structures involved with the air station than just the hangar? I was thinking that the hanger in this article should redirect to the Tillamook Air Museum. If the museum is in the hangar (is the hangar), then perhaps we can cover the history of the remaining hangar in the museum article. I renamed your link back to reflect the NRHP designation, but left it pointing to the air station article for now. In any case, if we are pointing a national historic place link somewhere, that somewhere ought to have the best information about the structure in question. What do you think? (I hope that made sense.) Katr67 23:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I believe that pointing the link at the Naval Air Station Tillamook article is the best way to go. Perhaps there should be a redirect page for US Naval Air Station Dirigible Hangar B to Naval Air Station Tillamook(?), though I don't like that it doesn't specifically say Tillamook in the name of the link/article. Might there have been more than one US Naval Air Station Dirigible Hangar possibly named "B"? semifamous 18:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. "Might there have been more than one US Naval Air Station Dirigible Hangar possibly named 'B'?" I really doubt it. Would anyone search on that string? Probably not, but it might not hurt to make a redirect. You are right about it having "Tillamook" in the name somewhere, though the link under Tillamook on the NRHP page should show that that's where it is. Feel free to change it if you feel strongly about it. Even though I lean toward having the NRHP articles show up on the list the way they were originally nominated, it makes sense to change the building names to what people actually call them if necessary. Hmm. Are there any other surviving naval air station dirigible hangars? Katr67 19:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Yup. There are a few surviving hangars, but not many. Only surviving hangars are in Santa Ana and Sunnyvale, CA, and Lakehurst NJ. [2] I took that picture at the Tillamook Air Museum last week. (If any other pictures in that album are useful for what you're doing, let me know and I'll upload them for you like I did for the Tillamook Air Museum picture.) Also there's a nice picture over here showing the hangar being built. [3] semifamous 23:24, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
